Square footage in short-term rentals - How can an entresol in an investment apartment in Masuria increase space and rental income?
When buying an investment property in Masuria, most investors focus on the square footage of the floor and the number of rooms. This mistake can lead to the loss of unique advantages in the luxury apartment market. The key to comfort and increased rental income isn’t square footage, but rather volume combined with proper space management. A prime example are modern apartments with entresols, which are destined to become a hit in Masuria.
Why can two-story solutions in developments like the Miejski Las in Mrągowo attract discerning tourists? In the following article, we comprehensively describe how an additional level can change the rules of the short-term rental market.
The "WOW" effect, i.e. a premium standard that is noticeable from the door
Standard vacation rentals are quite repetitive. A mezzanine breaks this standard, becoming a distinctive feature that makes the property more attractive to tourists. It creates an open space thanks to the additional floor, creating a high living room and a sense of spaciousness.
A guest of an apartment rightly gains a sense of the uniqueness of their stay. It’s worth noting that choosing a vacation rental is often based on photos of the property and its interior. An apartment with an entresol and an exceptional view can win the battle for a customer’s attention.
One space, many functions thanks to architectural flexibility
A major challenge in small investment apartments is balancing the day and night areas. It’s worth separating these zones, just as in comfortable apartments, to prevent the living room from also serving as a bedroom. A mezzanine is a great solution to this problem, allowing for separation between these zones. The ground floor is a common area, a place for breakfast before a busy day full of adventures in Masuria, while the entresol provides an evening haven for relaxation.
Tourist magnet
Mrągowo is no longer a place associated with vacations. It’s a town boasting year-round attractions, from summer festivals and sailing to the winter fun on Góra Czterech Wiatrów (Góra Czterech Wiatrów), where the Miejski Las (Municipal Forest) development is located. This attracts tourists even in the off-season.
A golden autumn evening or a sunny winter day in an apartment with high ceilings, overlooking the beautiful Masurian landscape through the windows, creates a unique atmosphere. The mezzanine floor creates a sense of coziness and exclusivity, making this property highly sought after even outside of the peak holiday season.
Investing in a space with a future
When choosing an investment apartment for short-term rentals or as a second home, it’s worth looking for unconventional and unconventional solutions. This allows you to stand out from the crowd, and an entresol is not only a functional solution but also maximizes space.
In the Miejski Las development in Mrągowo, we designed unique apartments that perfectly align with modern architectural trends and the demands of the premium real estate market.
